CASE STUDY

Law firms are a primary target for ransomware attacks, with cybercriminals targeting legal practices with sophisticated assault techniques.

Law firms are valuable targets for a multitude of reasons, but most recently they have been targeted as law firms are increasingly transitioning data to cloud-based platforms and web-based apps.
